Depends on the toilet, I think.* Our 37-year old boat still has it's original toilets, a pair of heavy, bronze-based Groco EBs.* Rebuild kits are still available for these toilets and they work today as well as the day they were installed, which in our experience is very well indeed.* We've updated them with the stainless steel pump shaft kit which eliminates a potential problem with the shaft keys, and as long as I can get a rebuild kit for the seals and diaphram every few years (we use the boat year round so the toilets get a lot of use) I see no reason why they won't go another 37 years.
